Flying over Greenland and the Arctic Ocean with NASA's DC-8 and P-3 research aircraft.
Sun rise with moon over the Arctic Ocean during the flight from Palmdale, California, to Thule, Greenland.
The sun is very low and only barely above the horizon at the beginning of the third science flight, creating beautiful illumination of the coast of Greenland with its frozen fjords, icebergs and glaciers.

The IceBridge crew flew over Petermann Glacier in northern Greenland with NASA's DC-8 aircraft.
Left: Landsat 7 falsecolor image of Petermann Glacier in northern Greenland. The center flowline of the glacier is clearly visible because of the blue meltwater ponds that form on the surface during the Arctic Summer. Right: flight trajectory, in red, of Operation IceBridge mission over Petermann Glacier. The trajectory is precisely located over the center flowline of the glacier.
At the end of a day of glacier flying. Dundas Mountain, a Thule landmark, is a small mesa just outside Thule, here seen during the approach to Thule Air Base with Wolstenholme Fjord in the background.
